Breel Embolo was surprisingly left on the bench by Switzerland for a second game in a row at Euro 2016, having to make do with half an hour of action instead of the full 90 minutes.

Embolo's stunning performances for Basel have seen him dubbed the future of Swiss football, and he looked lively after coming on in yesterday's 1-1 draw with Romania.

The striker has been linked with moves to the Premier League, with The Mirror reporting last week that Manchester United were leading the chase to sign him.

Embolo, 19, scored 13 goals last season for Basel, including two in the Europa League.

Against Romania he managed to get in position to have two scoring opportunities, but could not make either count, missing the target both times.

He was also booked after committing two fouls, but has put himself in contention to start Switzerland's final game against France, with first choice striker Haris Seferovic doing little with his two starts.

United are not the only team linked to him, with The Telegraph reporting he is high on Tottenham Hotspur's list of targets this summer as they look to strengthen up front.

His performance split the opinions of both Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur fans on Twitter, who seemed to appreciate that Embolo is a raw talent, but are not entirely convinced just yet.

Here is what United fans had to say...

Been very impressed with Embolo from what I've seen of this match. Got alot of work to do but still sooooo young #MUFC
